February Reading Challenges Summary

Well, I did it. I finished two books in two days. I just finished Let the Great World Spin by Colum McCann. It counts as my book recommended by a blog for the 4 Month Challenge. The cover kept popping up on coverspy and I liked the descriptions of all the people reading it, so I decided to check it out. I didn't like it as much as I thought I would, but it wasn't bad.

Off the Shelf (Making a Dent, 30 books): 10/30, 3 read in February
The 4 Month Challenge: Points for February: 40; Points total: 230

I didn't read any Shakespeare this month and I'm doing OK on the TBR Dare. I did so little reading this month though, it wasn't hard (I even tried to cheat, but failed at that).

2011 progress:
Books: 10
Pages: 2,662

Four days left in February. It's gotten cold here. I'm feeling depressed because I have no job and I haven't finished a book in three weeks. I know I can read two books in four days, and I'd like to but in reality, that's probably not going to happen. I have started up my quote books again though. That's really the only good thing to come out of February. I hate this month.

Ugh. I have done no reading lately. I got super sick on Sunday and I hate February. Hopefully I'll get back on the ball soon or, you know, in March.
